290 Pratt Street, LLC owns the Meriden Enterprise Center facility in Meriden, Conn. EPA alleges that in June 2010, PCBs were discovered to have leaked from transformers and to have contaminated soil and concrete areas at the Meriden Enterprise Center. The release prompted EPA and the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (CTDEEP) to require that the PCBs be cleaned up in accordance with PCB regulations under the Toxic Substances and Control Act (TSCA) and in accordance with Connecticut law. Under the terms of the agreement, 290 Pratt Street, LLC will promptly complete any remaining PCB cleanup requirements.

PCBs are persistent in the environment and are suspected carcinogens. Exposure to PCBs can cause effects on the immune system, the reproductive system, the nervous system and the endocrine system.
